The Mummies - (You Must Fight To Live) On The Planet Of The Apes - Sympathy For The Record Industry 7". SFTRI 196.

Upwards and onwards with Mad Mummies March. Probably the easiest of all The Mummies' singles to find. There's a something-I-can't-quite-put-my-finger-on anachronism about the title track. The subject matter is, in a way, too obvious, too easy, for a band as awkward as The Mummies to bother with. I can't quite work out why, but it does sit uneasily with the bulk of their oeuvre. Other tracks are more in keeping. Whitecaps pt.I/pt.II is an instrumental split over the two sides of the record and I'm Down is a Beatles cover. Yes, a Beatles cover. Which is pretty, er... fab, to be fair. It's a song from when the Merseysiders were a savage young boy band. Enjoy.

Call Me Kenneth.

I'm a sexy guy who is not afraid to dance. The intention of this blog is to provide MP3 access to mainly unavailable audio material recorded directly from well-played and well-loved (in the most part) vinyl, alongside scans of the covers and all available inserts. You know. How it was meant to be heard. Not all farted about with years later by Those Who Fear The Holy Crackle. When I run out of records I delete the blog. The recordings are all made from records I bought myself. No profit is made from this blog.
